i'm maintaining the treaty with israel. help me navigate through the diplomatic nightmare. >> if only mr. morsi was sophisticated as we hope you from your comments make him out to be. let's remember here, eliot. he's the accidental candidate that became president who essentially is taking orders from the guardian council of the muslim brotherhood which is far more, far more anti-israel far more emphatic in its attitude toward supporting hamas. so it's very hard to say how this all plays out. let's not impute too much so sophistication to a man who is engaged in what essentially is a delicate balancing act between his bosses in the muslim brotherhood leadership on the one hand and on the on the other hand the necessity of not alienating the multilateral donors who are -- who have to provide the funding that will give the muslim brotherhood for all intents and purposes, the capacity to deliver on the economic challenges that it faces domestically. all of the brouhaha aside, the fact of the matter is that i suspect that hamas

hamas has now empowered and the voices in israel that don't want peace have grown stronger because of this. is there any pass to any peace that you see in the near future? >> the problem is what you have essentially is a small kbabal of three players. the netanyahu government whose priorities are not the peace process but iran. and the greater chances he will have to confront his own ideology and coalition and hamas that has absolutely no stake and wants to undermine abbas. these are the new alignment which is taking us further and further away from the prospects from a meaningful two-state solution. i think the united states, president obama, will have to make a decision. the chances of his intercession successfully are probably pretty long. the odds are pretty bad. but if he wants to not become the american president on whose watch the two state solution that the conflict expires he'll have to do something. >> eliot: can he do something to reinforce abbas' capacity to negotiate, take power away from hamas and take it to the palestinian authority the counter weight in that world and

vote that created the state of israel, the u.n. officially recognized the state of palestine by a vote of 138 to 9 with 41 countries abstaining and the u.s. voting in opposition. palestine status at the u.n. was upgraded to that of nonmember observer state. while they still be only be able to own proceedings, this allows palestine to apply for membership in other international organizations. something both israel and the united states had hoped to avoid. meanwhile in egypt for the seventh day in a row protestors marched in tahrir square to have the constitutional assembly begin voting on a new constitution. yet's egypt supreme court announced that on sunday, it would decide whether or not to dissolve the constitutional assembly so voting was accelerated to perhaps render moot sunday's decision. many of whom are boycotting what they perceive to be a process hijacked by the muslim brotherhood. joining.me is james jeffrey former u.s. america west arena bass der to iraq. he served as the deputy to the president. thank you for your time
